Erectile dysfunction may be helped by Maxi-K gene therapy
Maxi-K gene therapy may be a safe and effective future option for men whose erectile dysfunction (ED) is not treatable with oral therapy. This therapy is not yet available commercially but shows immense promise for the future.
Maxi-K therapy is a unique, locally administrated gene-transfer technology to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The safety and the restorative effects of the treatment have been shown by data from participants in a phase I trial. In some men, the effect lasted up to six months.
The gene therapy appears safe as no transfer-related adverse events were reported more than two years after the transfer in some subjects. Unlike conventional oral treatments for men with ED, Maxi-K therapy doesn’t require prior planning, fosters sexual spontaneity and can be used by men taking heart medication.

I read about that and couldn’t help but laugh at the way they worded that: “not treatable with oral therapy”. I know what they really meant by ‘oral therapy’ and I know its a serious problem. But still the way they said it made me laugh.
Why have I not heard of Maxi-K therapy before? I participate in both the webmd.com and the http://www.edguider.com erectile dysfunction discussion forums and have never heard of Maxi-K, where can I find more information on it?
Thanks
Great news! I’ve read about this new therapy before and it seems to be the future of ED treatment. Let’s hope the FDA doesn’t screw things up (again!) and this will become available soon.
I would like to to try Maxi K Gene Therapy as a volunteer tester. I am 83 years old. Viagrga, etc.
no longer work for me.

As a man of 67 years I have sufferred E.D for 8 years since a radical prostatecamy. I use a penile injection, but I would like to enjoy sex on a more or less daily basis as I used to do and would happily accept Gene Therapy having read the current literature on the research in the USA. I cannot wait for it to become available.
Just hope I am one of the first to know its on the market as a treatment.
